Diagnosis. A. comptana is most similar to A. subtilana but is easily distinguished by its entirely dark brown hindwing, and olive gray-brown head and thorax.

Description. Head: Olive grey-brown. Thorax: Olive grey-brown with indistinct submedian orange fascia (absent in paratypes). Wing span 10 mm. Forewing ( Fig. 11 ) moderately broad, weakly expanding terminad; costa weakly oblique; termen with concavity beneath apex; ground colour orange, variable, more or less pale; costal strigulae white; divisions brown; markings brown as follows: basal blotch weakly oblique to dorsum of wing separated from costa by oblique, posterior line of ground colour; several brown markings in dorsal half of wing; broad fascia from beyond concavity of termen to 2/3 of costa; number and shape of spots in mediotornal area variable. Cilia brownish. Hindwing dark brown. Cilia (worn) similar. Abdomen: Male unknown. Female genitalia ( Fig. 5 ) with sterigma broad, submembranous; antrum broad posteriorly, weakly sclerotized, membranous towards long, postmedian sclerite of ductus bursae; ductus seminalis originating from broad basal part of ductus bursae; two signa. Subgenital sternite weakly sclerotized with slender posterior rib.

Material examined. Three females from Pará, two from Belém, 20 m, I.1984, V.O. Becker, Col, Col. Becker 47175, GS 677 WZ and 678 WZ, and one from Capitão Poco, 19–22.IX.1984, Col. Becker 53865, GS 676 WZ.

Remarks. The specimens examined were compared by the second author with the type material of A. comptana in the BMNH. The genitalia of this species were not examined.
